Smartest man in the room

Obama is supposed to be the smartest man in any room, yet his academic background is hidden better than a participant in the witness protection program. As a result, it might be reasonable to suspect that he has an average IQ and disappointing academic achievement. His difficulty expressing himself without a teleprompter supports this conclusion.

You must be right, since the position of the editor of the Harvard Law Review is always awarded to the most mediocre of students, as well as the honor of magna cum laude of which he also received from Harvard.

Where is the documented evidence of the honors that you say were awarded to Obama?

It sounds wonderful. I just can't imagine why anyone wouldn't be proud of these accomplishments and want to show them to the world. Maybe its a lie!!! Maybe there is something to hide. Something to be ashamed of!!

An article in NYT in 1990

The Harvard Law Review, generally considered the most prestigious in the country, elected the first black president in its 104-year history today. The job is considered the highest student position at Harvard Law School.

The new president of the Review is Barack Obama, a 28-year-old graduate of Columbia University who spent four years heading a community development program for poor blacks on Chicago's South Side before enrolling in law school. His late father, Barack Obama, was a finance minister in Kenya and his mother, Ann Dunham, is an American anthropologist now doing fieldwork in Indonesia. Mr. Obama was born in Hawaii.

lol

Harvard!? Who cares about that!? Nothing but a bunch of the "liberial elitists". It doesn't stack up next to Sarah Palins two semesters at North Idaho College in 1983. And in 1984 Palin won the Miss Wasilla beauty pageant and finished third in the Miss Alaska pageant playing flute in the talent portion of the contest. She also recieved the Miss Congeniality award.

You can sure tell when he is lying, just like Carter, big monkey grin and looks away from the interviewer and camera. changes subject etc.

Yes he has learned well.

Why the secrecy? What positive does it accomplish?

Oh. College personal information on students is only as good as what a student provides. It can hardly be viewed as definitive on the matter. Given the shroud of secrecy it only serves to foster suspicion.

Question. Has a similar shroud of secrecy been cast over another past President's personal information?

None of which we know. They do have a directive that the personal letters and such of a sitting president created while in office shall not be released for a few decades after his/her departure from office. But this directive does not cover the historical documentation of the president as concerning his life before being elected.

This is what seems so strange. if you have nothing to hide, what is gained by such action?
